(Baonghean.vn) - In order to promote the volunteer movement for community life and respond to the "Summer Youth Volunteer" campaign 2017, recently, the Youth Union of Huu Khuong commune (Tuong Duong) mobilized more than 50 youth union members to volunteer to build a bridge for the people of Pung Bon village.

After a day of hard work, with the spirit of hard work and enthusiasm of the youth, the bridge was completed. The bridge is nearly 10m long, 1.7m wide, made entirely of wood that the youth union members themselves collected from the forest.

Pung Bon village has 77 households with 323 people. Before there was no bridge, to get to the commune center, people here had to cross a stream. Without a bridge, people had to arrange stones to make a path to cross, so traveling was very difficult, especially during the rainy season. Therefore, building a bridge will help people in the village travel conveniently, especially students.

Mr. Vi Van Thoai, Secretary of the Youth Union of Huu Khuong commune, said: In addition to helping the villagers build bridges, in the coming time, the commune's youth union will organize a general environmental cleanup, help families with preferential policies, and organize summer activities for children in the villages./.
